What is Black Friday?

Occurring one day after Thanksgiving in the United States, Black Friday is an unofficial holiday that functions as the first day of the Christmas shopping season. As such, Black Friday is the biggest shopping day in the United States, and businesses often offer some of their lowest prices of the year on Black Friday.

Black Friday is celebrated across most industries, including the precious metals sector.

Black Friday in the Precious Metals Market

In the precious metals market, bullion dealers often save some of their best deals of the year for Black Friday. Some dealers, such as Hero Bullion, offer Black Friday deals throughout the entire week of Thanksgiving. Precious metal dealers promote discounts on gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals on and around Black Friday.

As a result, Black Friday and the week preceding it are some of the best days of the year for investors who want to save money on precious metals, rare coins, and other physical investment assets. Aside from standard discounts, some dealers may offer precious metals for spot price or below spot price, giving investors a great chance to save substantial money while buying the metals they love.

Finding Black Friday Bullion Deals

Many precious metal dealers create category pages to allow investors to easily browse their Black Friday deals. However, it’s important for consumers to check back frequently on their favorite bullion dealers’ websites. Similarly to Black Friday at stores, most dealers will stock only a limited number of each on-sale product. Once supplies run out, the deal may be gone!

Another great way to stay up-to-date on the latest Black Friday deals is to sign up for your favorite dealer’s email list. Dealers like Hero Bullion send email updates throughout the week of Black Friday, which means that email subscribers get first “dibs” on limited-time or limited-quantity deals.

Taking some time to research different precious metal products you may enjoy is another way to streamline your shopping spree on Black Friday. While the deals offered by dealers will vary from year to year and dealer to dealer, it’s never a bad idea to have a general idea of what you’re looking for before the deals start rolling in.

In other words, the best way to make the most out of your Black Friday is to follow the same rules consumers use for in-person Black Friday shopping:

1. Research beforehand,
2. Check back frequently, and;
3. Act quickly!

Getting the Most Out of Your Black Friday – Tips for Investors

Although Black Friday is a great day for stackers who love saving money on precious metals, the influx of deals, discounts, and new product releases can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the stacking community. Depending on which email lists you’re on and how many sites you buy your metals from, you may end up looking at hundreds of different discounted gold and silver products throughout the week of Black Friday.

To help you make the most of Black Friday, we’ve prepared a few different insider tips for precious metal investors heading into the biggest shopping holiday of the year:

1. Sign up for email lists,
2. Check your favorite sites frequently, and;
3. Look for “hidden gems”!

Below, we’ll take a closer look at these three tips for getting the best deals on gold, silver, and platinum during Black Friday.

1. Sign Up For Email Lists

Almost every precious metal dealer has an email list, and we always recommend that investors sign up to receive promotional emails from the companies they enjoy doing business with. In addition to calling your attention to special deals, new releases, and limited-edition products, signing up for your favorite dealer’s email list can help you capitalize quickly on the best Black Friday deals they offer.

Subscribers to Hero Bullion’s email list, which you can join by filling out the form below, will receive immediate notice when new Black Friday deals go live throughout the week of Thanksgiving. Since some Black Friday deals are extremely limited in quantity, investors who want to make the most out of their Black Friday shopping should be sure to sign up and stay ahead of the curve!

However, it’s important to remember that you’ll still be able to take advantage of Black Friday deals on gold and silver, even if you choose not to sign up for a dealer’s email list.

2. Check Back Frequently

Even if you don’t sign up for your favorite dealers’ email lists, you should still be able to capitalize on some of the best deals on gold and silver of the year during Black Friday. To do so, you’ll need to check back frequently throughout the day (or week) of Black Friday.

Like most great deals, the best precious metal discounts on Black Friday are extremely limited in quantity. Dealers like Hero Bullion sometimes offer precious metals for less than spot price on Black Friday, which is almost unheard of in this industry. Because of the scale of the discounts these deals offer, they tend to sell out quickly.

Hero Bullion’s Black Friday deals will go live starting November 24th on our “Deals” page. If you want to make sure you have first crack at the best deals we have to offer throughout the week of Black Friday, take a moment to bookmark this page. Throughout the week, be sure to check back often, as we swap products once they’re sold out!

3. Look for the Hidden Gems!

Another way to get the most out of Black Friday is to look for hidden gems. Sometimes, the best deals are the ones that aren’t openly advertised, and the precious metals industry is no exception. Be sure to take some time to scroll down and sift through all of the Black Friday deals on your favorite dealer’s Black Friday page.

After all, you never know what you might find – or what great deals your fellow stackers failed to notice!

Deals to Look For During Black Friday 2025

While the exact deals investors have access to on Black Friday vary based on the year, market conditions, and dealer, a few product categories are often sold at extreme discounts during the week of Black Friday. Keep your eyes peeled for these products, as they may feature some of the best premium discounts on the market:

1. Backdate sovereign coins. 
2. Pre-1933 gold.
3. 90% silver U.S. coins.

Backdate Sovereign Coins

Non-current or random-year editions of popular sovereign coins like the American Silver Eagle and the Canadian Gold Maple are often sold at discounts during Black Friday. These coins are readily available and often don’t come saddled with as much demand as coins from the current year. As a result, Black Friday can be a great opportunity for investors to save money while buying iconic coins from sovereign mints around the world.

Investors can also sometimes save even more money by buying large quantities of discounted backdate sovereign coins on Black Friday. Many dealers engage in tiered pricing, a practice where investors are charged lower premiums when they buy larger quantities of a given gold, silver, or platinum coin.

Pre-1933 Gold

Pre-1933 U.S. gold coins are another product category that you may save money on during the week of Black Friday. Since these products are less than 99.9% pure, they’re more readily accessible during especially tight gold markets. Because of this, dealers may be able to offer fantastic discounts on circulated U.S. gold coins during the week of Black Friday.

Buying discounted pre-1933 U.S. gold is a great way for investors to inject some numismatic value into their portfolios. Aside from their bullion content, pre-1933 U.S. gold coins are prized for their collectability, and investors often pay high premiums for coins that are in pristine condition.

90% Silver U.S. Coins

90% silver coins refer to U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars minted prior to 1964. These coins are minted with 90% pure silver and remain one of the best ways for investors to save money while investing in silver. Especially during a market like this one, many dealers have substantial inventories of 90% U.S. silver coins.

As a result, expect to see quite a few great deals on 90% junk silver coins during the week of Black Friday. In many cases, investors will be able to score 90% pure quarters, half dollars, and dimes for less than spot price. Isn’t that just music to a stacker’s ears?

Final Thoughts: What to Know Before Black Friday 2025

Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, and the precious metals market is no exception to this rule. On and before Black Friday, dealers can take advantage of some of the lowest prices of 2025 on gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals.
